United Nation

This was one of my first Art Directing Job, where I had to do all designs, come up with 12 illutrations , coloured and talk with the client and tryed to accomodate all their request in few weeks of work. Creacyyyy works hours but I always manage to be done by the due date. I love trying new styles, is the only way we can keep learning.My ultimate dream is to become a director. And learning from the greatest directors like: Walt Disney, John Lasseter, Brad Bird, Ridley Scott and others, are good artist first then directors. I truly believe that for direct a big number of people from different departments, you need to respect and understand what and how important is their work. When you can relate to someone immediately you can install a good vibe and a great harmony in the studio, and they will respect you calls.My good friend Geoffrey Donovan..(yessss twin brother of Daren Donovan 2 great artist & friends), colour the one on the center...Its ammazing when you know what you want the you have people that they know how to do it or can fully understend your directions- thats the good thing about been an artist...This is my first time I let someone else to finish colour one of my drawing. :)This illutrations were done for United Nation Website... and I was suppose to create a nice tv-show for them (where I did all the storyboards for ) but never past the production stage, since the " Middle Man " blew all the money for personal use... a pure scandal !! :)

Angelo, man when you post you REALLY post. this is great. you are one talented guy and these last entries really showcase your skills. i have no doubt in my mind that we'll see you at a BIG studio soon. Good luck

"ur dearest student ..."Ha HA hahaah!!!Did you write that 'cause in this way I will accept your late portfolio" !??!?! hahahaha :)

Tina, I am there for helping you guys to receive and be the best you can be, all you guys/girls are really talented. Just a bit lazy or confuse from this art form... That's why I give you those exercises. The only think I know is that they worked for me, and other exercises some teacher ( like Gerry Zeldin, Werner Zimmerman, and Vince Peets )assign it to me when I was student. I am just returning the favour to you guys and keep positive energy :)...And yes I am underpay.. :) but thats the only way I can working to my portfolio too. I dream nite and day to work at Pixar one day. It is so inspiring even just to walk there. But probably that's just a dream, but i think is worth it to give it a try :)

Wonderful blog you have here. I don't think we've ever met but I do remember your art from back when you were a student. I was in a year younger than you I believe.Anyhow, I look forward to meeting you one of these days... I'm sure our paths will cross at Sheridan

An honorary Roman citizenship would be nice but it's not as beneficial during the empire...Thanks for the comment. I totally agree with what you said here. Leadership is being just being a step ahead of your subordinates and delegation is the name of the game. It's hard to delegate if there's no trust and respect for those under you. Sorry to hear what happened on this project...it's a classic!. But after seeing your artworks and sensibilities, I'd say you're on your way to fulfilling your dream. Keep it up, my friend. Btw, I'm linking you up.

Hei Armand... HAhaha you are a funny guy... You made a point, but my family was really influential back then too hahahah!!! :)Thank you for your comment and trust on me and my art work it means a lot when a comment comes from you...But for now I still need to have a few big Company Names under my belt before even get approach for the Director Position :)About that work ..yes you are totally right...its a classic..it always happen...one day I will tell you how those guys spent the money for and you will laughing for a month, no stop :)

My pleasure Mark..my pleasure...But remember then, when you will going to catch up with me, then you will need to teach me what you know, and make me learn and improve where I am week ..promise? :)You are a great guy/student with a great attitude.

Sam.. Thank you for your nice comment. That's what is art all about..inspiring one to each other to improve our skills

Ah, here's the man I've heard so much about. The Scandalous Angelo himself:) Gerry thinks very highly of you and now I know why. Beautiful stuff! Napoleon Dynamite made me laugh out loud. You should check out Jeffrey Thompson's take on it (you've probably seen it already though), he's linked on my page. Anyhow, I hope to meet you at Sheridan one of these days. Rock on.

hey angelo thanks for the comments man. I was checkin out your portfolio too. You got some sweet animatics going on there, as well as your charcter sketches and medical drawings (i can see now, why our hand and feet drawings are not at industry level). Keep inspiring all of us man.

Hi Rayan :)Your paintings look tooo good. I left a message immediately to your blog as soon i saw it. Wish we could work together one day... it will be fun. Crazy art work will come out from out pencil for sure. :)

Hi Robin... Yes for sure I will do that. I will bring my finished drawing/sketched in Class on Monday. Hope you had a good time at the Royal Winter Fair. :)

Evan...Thankkk you so much for your compliment. I am proud to have you as a student. You are a good artist, you are willing to accept critiques and hard worker. The dream for every teachers. :)

YES ANGELO! I hope everything is good with you. Im very glad that our paths crossed again and Im sure its not the last time. Keep your head up and focus straight and all will be well. I hope to work with you one day. Thank you for being a huge inspiration and being the irst to really talk to me at Red Rover Studios, that meant a lot to me and I'll never forget that experience which has me where I am today. Hope all is well. And keep grinding.
